Frequently Asked Questions
Why does "being myself" feel like a physical sensation?
Because it is! This is "The Familiar Weight of Being Yourself." It is the felt presence of selfhood—a combination of proprioception and Narrative Coherence. Normalizing this sensation helps you recognize that you are "home." It shouldn't feel like a "high"; it should feel like a "steady, familiar weight." This weight is what anchors you against the "drift" of high-velocity triggers.
How can I use this "familiar weight" when I'm stressed?
When things get loud, look for that "steady weight" inside. It’s usually found in the center of the chest or the lower abdomen. By leaning into this "internal gravity," you signal to your Threat & Safety system that the "Integrator" is still online. This physical anchor prevents you from being swept away by the "low-density" chaos of the environment.
